Silit

I really don't get how any of this is important to CoH.

These are CoH boards after all.

Vinnie is the best rad/psi and target caller in CoH. End.

Wait, no, then someone might say something like:

"Lolz who cares about coh you guys just act like it's so much harder and more competitive than it actually is"

Wrong. We don't. We play other games more than we play CoH.

Is CoH competitive? No. You're all terrible.
Is it hard? Nope. It's really easy.

So... why are you all so bad at a game that:

1. you play more than us
2. isn't competitive
3. is easy

... why is that?

[I don't know if that last bit made sense grammatically or not - I'm not sure there are grammatical guidelines for numbered lists in dialogue format, such as this one - at least, not when they are broken apart for emphasis/easier reading.]

The answer: I have no idea. Seriously, I have no idea. I really don't. I have many things: A lot of orange juice, several hats in tf2, Doritos, a rather large microwave, brown hair, an enormous *****, and a pink card than says I can tell planes to do stuff - but an idea? No, that I don't have.

The real question is: are you mad about it? Yes.

"BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT COH LOL JUST STOP POSTING SILIT UR NOT EVEN ON TOPIC"

Nope. It is. You're mad.

"Just stay out of this, you're just trying to back up your butt buddy internet friend because you're all just a bunch of circle jerking elitists who take this game too seriously"

Nope. Mad.

"Blah blah blah"

Fwoop. Mad.

Mage?

Mad.

Battlewraith?

Mad.

Kurgain?

Badmad.

"LOL RESORTING TO YOUMAD JOKES NOT EVEN DIGNIFYING THIS WITH A RESPONSE GROW UP AND GET REAL"

Mmmmmmmm





ad.

Conclusion: Our dilz are enormous, everyone else is terrible, and mad.

In the word's of Protector's very own Rastafari Man - "Silit, I know we may not have seen eye to eye in the past, but I love you right now" (after Sneaky, Vinnie, and I griefed a Protector hami-raid into failure).

Thank you, and good day.

Not that I'm aware.

You'd have to all be in the same SG and use the SG rumble feature to do anything bigger than 8v8. The devs removed the ability to form teams before loading into the arena though, so you wouldn't be able to decide who goes on which team.

The story of WARE.gov: By Kurgain, edited by Mirrage Mage, with illustrations by Battlewraith.

CoH was a peaceful game. PvPers of all types - of all shapes - of all sizes, be they "zoners" or "arena players"; casual players or more intensive players; stronger or weaker players shared companionship. There was no trash talk. No drama.

The PvP community flourished, and began to grow rapidly. Many players expressed interest in forming a PvP league, so that they could all be friends and have fun playing together. But who would lead such a league? Katalyst, Duke of the great Exile, beacon of light to the PvP community stepped forward to the challenge. There were no attempts at team stacking, no secret rosters - any player was welcome to join whatever team he or she pleased.

But word of this league of friendship and fun spread rapidly, until it reached the ears of the most evil of creatures - Vincent and Silit. They searched far and wide, uniting the most powerful and evil warriors to ever walk the earth:

March the Vile, known for his relentless trash talk
Spiner the Wicked, Antagonizer of the Innocent
Dexington, Destroyer of Hope
Seethe, Spreader of Lies
RyRy, Devourer of Souls
Peril the Deceitful
Liberty, Lord of the Kingdom of Woe
Hot Heals, the world's youngest serial rapist
Rystorm, Bringer of Sorrow
Mebs, the Jew
h0j, a man eating half demon from beyond the northern mountains
Walrus, the Dragon

and HP, Bringer of Thunder, the Dark Beast from beneath the earth


It was the first time any of them had joined forces - an uneasy alliance, bound only by mutual hatred...

WARE.gov.

A blight upon the game, they sought only one thing - to terrorize the innocent PvP community - to instil the idea that CoH was an incredibly competitive game, and that WARE.gov was the best at it.

WARE.gov, knowing it would be impossible to go head to head with Exile in a fair fight, employed dastardly tactics in order to gain the upper hand - Exile's champion, Gunrock, Master of Dental hygiene, was tricked into standing atop a roof during Exile's battle against WARE. Even still, Exile fought valiantly, but at days end were defeated and forced to retreat from the battlefield.

Dark times these are. Trash talk, drama, disparity between players - WARE.gov has brought these plagues upon us!

We can only hope that good will prevail, but without Exile to lead us, I fear all may be lost.

"Beat" would be an understatement.

Not to rain on this, because in all honestly, I'd probably say similar stuff in your position due to my tendency to grief people for reasons non-existent, but I'm pretty sure that even if you were to count practices, we'd still have a far better w/l ratio than anyone else, save for CoTD.

We talked briefly about it - we've gotta work out some schedule conflicts, but it should be fun.

lol. villian ladder.

You can probably make a cheap 200 mil build for a Stalker that's still viable. Anything /WP can be be very cheaply slotted, as all you really NEED is a stealth IO. It will be totally useless if you're not on a team, though.

WARE.gov will happily 6v6 Shenanigans or Exile in TF2, as that's the game we actually play now.

If Shenanigans is interested in doing CoH 8v8s, they should probably seek out that random compilation of players staring Suckafish and Condro on two completely useless dueling builds. I don't know if they have a team name or not, but I know they beat someone really bad.

Actually, in the earlier days of PvP, the standard for team matches on test was a 16v16 20 minute round. 12v12s were also popular for a time, as were server vs server battles with over 20 people on each team.

The way to do it is by using the "super group rumble" setting. Unfortunately, not enough people play for it to be a consistent thing.

Even if enough people played - you can't form teams before entering arena matches now, so it'd be dumb, because you couldn't control who ends up on which team when in the match.

Uh... whoops. Kinda wish I'd known. I tried to make the post comprehensive enough that I wouldn't have to follow up with any further posts on the same topic. Ironically, it would seem I didn't have to post at all.

Anyway, if anyone would try to bring my sanity under fire, I will remind them that I made a completely irrelevant post on an already resolved topic, and thus: I don't care.

No regard for human tears. Get at me.

So far, I'm glad to say that we've lived up to our name, and then some.

Watching round 3 against shenanigans seems unreal - there is no video on youtube, past or present - there is no team any of us have ever played for - pre or post changes - that has ever matched that pace.

This team has come a long ******* way from the first week we were back, trading games with Exile. I honestly thought we'd be more like usedtobegood - we'd come back, never practice, squeak out sloppy wins and laugh about it. Never did I imagine we'd put this much energy into CoH again - Never did I think we'd actually practice, roll toons, be online - never did I foresee Vinnie actually writing match commentaries for more than two weeks consecutively, and certainly, never did I see us making the Earth/Fire vision into a reality.

We obviously have a three week hiatus until playoffs, due to CC's advance forfeit (I really wanted Gfunny and Bud to show us how the big dogs roll on Champion too).

I'll cut to the chase. Playoffs. We will be voting to keep the current system. This is a conclusion we, as a team, came to just before last Sunday's games against Shenanigans.

While many of us wouldn't mind seeing a best of 5 single elimination system, the longer match nights could put a strain on some of our schedules, and that's a feeling felt by other teams we've talked to concerning the matter.

We don't support attempts at a best of 3 single elimination system, mainly because of the arguments being brought forth in it's promotion, and because of the intentions of some of it's supporters.

A common dissent with the current system is:

"If the current system is kept we'd have to sweep WARE to have a chance at winning"

We don't see any issue with this, as we've swept every team we've fought thus far, and we plan to sweep every team in playoffs.

I realize that I may potentially catch flack for this vote, as this vote statistically benefits my team, and is only in favor of one imperfect system over yet another imperfect system. The people who should be catching flack are the ones who were adamantly opposed to a best of 3 elimination system until we took a fat dump on everyone and made a mockery out of this league.

If you are one of the select few who may attempt bring my integrity under fire over this, please remember that I disqualified a team over a typo in lineup submission once, and thus: I don't care. What benefits my team infinitely more than the vote I've cast is the roster that Vinnie posted.

We will continue to do what our name suggests - no matter the playoff system. And to any team that, at the end of this league, believes they deserved to beat us: we will play you whenever we are able, as long as we continue to play.

Good luck to everyone in playoffs, and with the remainder of their regular season matches. We look forward to practicing with you all in the meantime.

You guys do realize that the test server is now a copy of freedom, right? And f2p accounts cant use it. And the copy tool is broken.

I hope I'm not the only who knows that.

It was only a matter of time, honestly.

The dude carried me while I was playing roamer in a lobby. That's not humanly possible.

I think I have the screenie in my tf file somewhere. Xhiggy and HP are in it too.

WARE.gov 3-0 over shenanigans.

Round 1: 33-2
Round 2: 20-3
Round 3: 31-3

GGs.

Would anyone be opposed to a double elim system?

And, I think the vote for 2/3 vs 3/5 should be taken and decided BEFORE a vote is held on single elimination implementation, as the results of the former may effect voting for/against the latter.
